Our celebration of #IWD continues! Women from refugee, IDP and host communities in Bosaso came together to advocate for rights, justice and equality. Together with partner KAALO Aid and Development, #UNHCR facilitated dialogue on women’s rights, leadership and access to justice.

When women and girls rise, we all thrive.
In Bosaso, refugee women are turning hardship into opportunity through the Horseed Refugee Women Association. With training & small grants from #UNHCR, they are starting businesses, supporting their families, & inspiring their communities

[UNHCR Somalia @UNHCRSom]

Rights. Justice. Action.

Not someday. Not selectively. Not for some.

For ALL women and girls, including those forced to flee.

Equality without refugee women isn’t equality at all.

In Somalia, progress in 2025 was possible because of strong partnerships. #UNHCRSomalia thanks all our donors for enabling protection, assistance and solutions for refugees, IDPs and host communities. Your support continues to make a real difference as we move into 2026.

In #Somalia, millions are affected by a deepening drought, with women and children hardest hit.

Livestock losses and sharply reduced cereal production are pushing families into destitution.

Urgent & timely assistance is needed to prevent the crisis from worsening.
